Dance Classes
Students in our classes learn Lindy Hop, the original form of swing dance. Classes take place in 6 week long series with some of the best teachers in the region. Students rotate in class (Lindy Hop is a social dance), so no partner is required. We encourage you to sign up for class as early as possible so that we can maintain a lead/follow balance. Students are welcome to pick either the lead or the follow role (and many people learn both over time), but we do ask that they stick to one role for the duration of each class series.
The drop-in lessons on Monday and Friday are a great way to start, but they don't constitute a full beginner class, so Lindy Hop students are required to take Lindy 1 at least once through before moving on to Lindy 2. If you have experience from elsewhere, feel free to ask an instructor if you're ready for a different level.
January 2026 is our recital session for Lindy 2 & 3 students. Sign ups are at the bottom of the page!
This class will launch you into the disturbingly awesome world of Lindy Hop. We cover all the basic moves and concepts that build up to the fancier aspects of the dance, teach you how to lead and follow, and get you meeting new people. The classes in this series are slightly longer than our other classes (an hour and fifteen instead of an hour), as we believe in giving you extra time to practice and absorb the information.
Our classes are currently capped at 50ish students. If the class sells out, please email sarah@mobtownballroom.com to be placed on the waitlist (maybe we will add more classes!).
Students have the choice of taking the class on either Mondays and Wednesdays.
